pics of my started firewood stack

[KYrob]

Here's my start after this weekend. Not sure how much there is but there is 3 rows of it anyway. There's a pic of one of our 3 cats relaxing in front of the insert as well.

edit: The fireproof rug for the front of the hearth hasn't arrived yet.

Cats loving it, nice pictures also what type of wood is it.

Oak,ash, walnut, and some box elder that was in the way. I found out later that the elder isn't the best but after sawing and splitting, it's going to get burnt.

It's a good start, keep it up.

Looks like a good start, also looks like you have the room for a nice supply of wood

Nice Stove to boot

My only suggestion would be to get the wood off the ground. Maybe you can find some skids or throw some pressure treated 2x4 down.
Great start though.

I had some pallets at work but somebody needed them worse than I did evidently. You can't see them in the pic but there are 3 walnut logs about 4" around under each stack running the entire length. Better than being right on the ground I guess.

Don't worry about the box elder Rob. It will burn okay and still give you heat. Burn it spring and fall or during daytime hours when you don't need to hold a fire for a long time. We've burned a bunch of it over the years. Some trees needed cutting, so we cut and burned and got along just fine.

Nice stack & a good start.
Now that you got started, don't blame us when you start looking at trees differently.
Now when I see a tree that should come down, I see & think, which way will I fell it, how well it will split, how long will it need to season etc.
You just started so the addiction is just an ember, soon to be a bon-fire.'
Gotta keep that cat warm
Better than any gym membership too, & you're paying yourself with every split

Thanks for the replies guys. I have already started wondering how much I can cut,split, and stack beforte it gets to hot out to want to continue. It's work but it's fun work if that makes any sense. My boys aren't to fond of it though, not yet anyway.

You couldnt be any more spot on.

as i drive to work every day, I get aggrevated seeing downed oak trees everywhere in the woods or in peoples yards wondering if it will get cut up and burned or just sit there for 10 years and rott. I see a nice stack of wood and i tell the wifey to take a gander, she thinks if frigan nuts. Will this get better or worse?
